Mapping All Them California Plants

A couple of years ago, two colleagues of mine at work started to pull together two data sources on the California flora into a combined database that they call CalJep. For many months now, I have been working to make the CalJep database into an online mapping application and am happy to say that it is now live on the web. This application allows you to look at a distribution map of any of almost 7900 plant species in California. Do have a poke if you’re interested—feedback on the interface is always helpful.

  1. Thanks—this is going to be a great resource. I plugged in a couple of favorites (Darlingtonia, Carpenteria, Lyonothamnus) to test drive it yesterday.
    Should be particularly helpful for our Lake County project.

  2. Had a poke, wow great tool! Found… poke was actually present in the Bay Area regions, funny, never noticed it there (it is, of course, everywhere here in NC)
